Destroying the 2015 Lamborghini Huracan for NFTs

From time to time we attend increasingly bizarre events where people are willing to do anything, even destroy very expensive cars. After a video from Jaala, Finland, where Tuomas Katainen with 30 kg of explosives destroyed a 2013 Tesla Model S, now comes a video in which the artist destroys a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan and the reason is the creation of 999 NFTs.

Most of us know, or at least have heard, about non-fungible tokens (NFTs). These are units of data stored on the blockchain, in the form of photos, videos and audio, which can be traded. The video is the work of conceptual artist SHL0MS, who hired a professional team to plant explosives at Lamborghini to get the best possible effect.

Some believe that Lamborghini, which recently entered the world of NFTs, is behind this. It may be, but it has not been confirmed. What is known is that all 999 NFTs will be sold at an auction, which will take place tomorrow (February 25). How much each NFT will cost is not known, but it is expected to be between $ 200 and $ 300 which would be the price of the new Lamborghini Huracan which costs $ 230,000.
